Craft Frustration

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO QUILT!!!!!!

But I don't understand the directions in quilting books.

Anyone want to be my translator?

once you find an easy quilt pattern, it's very simple. If you want I'll scan and email my first pattern I did over to you. Just let me know!

I did that strip quilt and it was easy. I've never tried one in a pattern book. I'll get there one day. I can forward you the link to the one I did.

I'd love your help ladies!

I have a specific quilt in mind; there is a pattern in a book I'd like to try but maybe if I start small and acquire the skills, that will help!

Start with blocks first, or strips. Don't even try those fancy angle ones. I can scan and send you the one I made for Lilah (with instructions for a so way better binding). It was really easy and it took me an afternoon (except for the cutting). Just keep telling yourself that you're intelligent and you can do it!
